Today at work

[DRC]

Sadly, dog burial detail today , he was ancient and had been getting increasingly dotty and deaf, I had forecast that someone would run him over soon. That someone was me and the vet came to put him to sleep this afternoon.

In all his life of 13 plus years he had only had a lead on when he went to the vet for the annual vaccination and had run free for all the rest of the time.

I am sad writing this but the vet says that loads of farm dogs finish up being run over by their owners, is this true?

A friend ran over our 17 yr old red and white collie. He was helping cart bales and didn’t see the old dog. Felt bad for both of them.
My Mrs managed to run over an old Jack Russel we had twice. She was in the car and as the children shouted , she slammed it into reverse thinking he was in front. Vet gave him Metacam and after a few days rest, he was back to his old growling self.

Cutting grass this evening that I’ve sold, with a triple mower.
This is a re seed that had sheep on it until 1st week in April, so pleased with how it’s cropping, especially as it was so dry after the sheep came off.

Baled and wrapped my paddock yesterday evening, lugged the bales this morning,

spoilt the OH to an afternoon off in the sunshine together

at the local grassland show

Didn't feel inclined or weathly enough to put an order in, but did manage a couple of visit to the hog roast and plenty of freebies...

First time I've met him, and was introduced as James, so cant comment on chubbs. I’ve sold first cut to the farm I grow maize for, so they organised the harvesting. Had a ride in the tractor and found we knew most of the same people.

James is more commonly know as Cubbs, for reasons you may guess.

He said he looks in on here, so I wouldn’t care to comment, and he may be back tomorrow with the gang.

My few beasts can have a day in doors, as the silage has to be carted across their field.

I first met chubs when drilling maize for his dad, he let me borrow his penknife, he was about 8 then. Seeing these "kids" nowadays, makes me feel old!

Yard jobs today fitting some concrete panels for extra storage

Into a 3 yr old ley now. Not as heavy a crop, but full of clover and should be plenty of milk in it.

Not been on here for ages so seeing as it’s been a grand day for it made a start on a bit of chopping

40th silage season one way or another started off rowing up with the gay bob at home

still can’t master taken videos etc while flat out a snatched pic is enough

Nice day for a clean out of a feed hopper.

surprising how much stuff gets stuck around in there.

I hate towers with reception pits,but this one is something else
You think you got the flow spot on and two minutes later your back out to adjust the flow
I know how the wife’s legs feel after a marathon now
